As the Ft. Wayne Mad Ants of the NBA D-League and Ryan Wittman ('10) make a push for the playoffs, the Ft. Wayne News Sentinel writes, "Fort Wayne has also received a recent boost from Wittman, who has found his shooting groove the last five games. He has hit 22 of 38 shots (57 percent), with most of those (17 of 29, 58 percent) from three-point range."

Louis Dale ('10) and Goettingen of Germany's premier league, the Bundesliga, bowed out of the Euro Cup, falling 84-62 in game 2 of their quarterfinals series with Italy's Benetton.

Our coaches have seen the recruits many times. But they have yet to see them play against our returning veterans. So, at the end of the day, not even the coaching staff really knows who is going to play.

But they love this class and there is a belief that 3-5 of these guys will play and a couple have been mentioned as potential starters.

Not suggesting these are the guys, but it can be very easy to see players such as Galal Cancer or Devin Cherry, Shonn Miller, and Deion Giddens, cracking the starting line-up or the rotation.

Harvard played a bunch of freshmen during 2009-2010 (namely Webster, Curry and Casey) and you can expect to see Cornell do the same.

On an expected 21 man roster for 2011-12, if there is a belief that as few as 3 and as many as 5 of these incoming recruits will play as freshmen AND the coaches have already identified a couple of them to you as potential starters before they have practiced, learned the offenses and defenses, or played against experienced D-1 competition, this must truly be an amazing freshmen class and Coach Courtney has truly lived up to his reputation as a phenomenal recruiter.
